ARDWOOD FLOORS are perfectly sanitary, clean, and 

easy to care for. Plans for a new house are scarcely 

considered complete without provision being made for them. 

In old houses the work is readily laid over original floors, 
taking the place of carpets. 

We manufacture all kinds of plain and ornamental flooring, 
from simple strips and squares to the most elaborate parquetry 
designs. Wealso make all thicknesses of ‘¢ tongue and groove”’ 
flooring. 

The flooring that can be laid with the greatest ease and 
economy is ye inch thick with square edge. This booklet 
shows the most popular and best designs in this thickness. 
These patterns can all be made 14, 56 or % inch thick as 
desired ; the fancy designs by gluing to a backing; the plain 
ones by using separate pieces of solid oak with tongue and 
groove on edges. 

The borders are made up in 12 foot lengths. The fancy 
fields are made up in convenient sized slabs for laying. The 
simple oak designs are composed of 11% or 2 inch slats 
assembled in squares, hexagons, etc., on canvas. This canvas 
is simply to hold together, in convenient form for handling, the 
carefully selected slats or short strips until the flooring is nailed 
down. The herringbone (No. 706) is supplied in separate 
pieces. 

The price of the simpler designs approximates that of a 
good carpet. If given attention the floor never wears out. 
House cleaning is made easy and there are never any heavy 
sweeping days where our hardwood flooring is installed. A fine 
hardwood floor gives an air of refinement and elegance to any 
residence, store or public building. 

We have agents in the large cities. Being experts in this 
line, they will do the work quicker and with less trouble to the 
purchaser than one who does not make a regular business of 
floor laying. Any good carpenter, however, can lay these floors 
by following our plans and instructions for laying and finishing. 

Send us a rough sketch of rooms with accurate measure- 
ments and we will give you exact estimate of cost of the 
flooring. 

When necessary, symmetrical corner pieces will be made 


for any border shown, as illustrated on page 2.

E own the white oak forests which are our source of 
supply, and operate our own saw-mills and lumber yards 
where the lumber is cut and seasoned. Having dry kilns at 
both our Western and Eastern factories we can give absolute 
assurance of thoroughly seasoned and perfectly dry flooring. 
The flooring is kept in heated stock rooms until the moment 
of shipment, so that it is always in perfect condition. The last 
point alone makes our flooring, of all kinds, vastly superior to 
the ordinary lumber yard variety, which has been exposed to 
damp air and has absorbed moisture while piled in unheated 
lumber sheds. 

Indiana quartered white oak is the basis of our work. We 
carry in addition many other domestic and imported woods ; 
these affording, in their natural, unstained beauty, almost every 
color except bright blue. 

We are anxious that any flooring bought from us may result 
in such a finished floor as to be an advertisement for us. We 
supply full directions for laying and finishing, but that is not 
enough. We would like to sell finishing materials for the work, 
such as we know to be the best, to insure perfect results. 


FINISHING MATERIAL 


Suitable brads or nails can generally be procured through 
the larger hardware stores. We have special kinds for the 
different thicknesses of material and can ship along with the 
flooring. 

Special dry-mixed filler in different shades is kept in stock, 
as well as coloring matter for the putty used for filling the brad- 
holes on the ye inch floors. 

“¢ Wood-Mosaic Finish’”’ is the result of our long experience 
in the flooring business and can be had in suitable sized packages 
The finest grades of pure white shellac can be used as a sub- 
stitute for ‘* Wood- Mosaic Finish.’’ A sufficiently high grade 
shellac is so difficult to procure in small quantities that we do 
not advise its use except by the advice of ‘our agents, who are 
experts. 

Our wax insures a fine glossy finish. The ease with which 
it can be renewed makes it the most economical and easily 
cared for of finishes. 

Our weighted polishing brushes are so constructed that the 
power used to push the brush is applied where it is most effective 
in getting a high polish on the waxed floor.

HE above is a plan of a floor laid with wood-carpet and 
finished off with a colored border-strip and corner No. 
1017 to match. This makes a neat, inexpensive and durable 
floor, possessing every sanitary advantage of higher priced work. 
This flooring is composed of narrow strips of hardwood, of 
lengths to suit the layout of the room, glued on to a canvas 
backing in sheets twenty-four inches wide. Sheets of this width 
are the easiest to handle and to lay. 

Wood-carpet shipped in rolls is exposed to the air, while 
our sheets are packed so tightly together that exposure to 
dampness is reduced to a minimum. This method of packing 
also protects the edges of the strips from damage. 


For thirty years we have been manufacturing ornamental 
hardwood flooring. We are prepared to execute orders for 


special designs to conform to any scheme of decoration.
